Effects of additional stems and leaves of post-harvest cherry-tomato on the fermentation pattern in composting with livestock manure.

We investigated the effects of additional stems and leaves of postharvest cherry-tomato (residue of postharvest cherry-tomato) on the fermentation pattern of composting using livestock manure. The mixture of livestock manure and recycled compost, as a basal composting material, was obtained from the composting facility managed by an agricultural cooperative. Four treatments were prepared: only the basal composting material (BCM) and a mixture of BCM and residue of postharvest cherry-tomato (RPC) with a ratio of 1:7, 1:3 and 1:1 in volume. These mixtures were fermented in composting boxes (150 litters) and the aerobic condition was maintained by blowing air from the bottom during 8 weeks. After the composting trial was finished, a portion of each mixture (compost) was stored in a bucket (40 litters) made of polyethylene during 16 weeks. The fermentation temperature in composting boxes increased as the additional RPC increased. The mixture with a ratio of 1:1 had higher fermentation temperature, d

ecomposition rate of organic matter and amount of evaporation than those of the other mixtures during the composting period. Between the 8th and 24th week, no change was observed in the composition of inorganic components of each compost.
